Tickets for Xbox FanFest: E3 2017 will go on sale this Wednesday, April 19, Microsoft announced today.

The three-day event will grant 500 people entry to Microsoft's E3 press briefing, which will be held on Sunday, June 11, at 2pm PT, according to Xbox Wire. FanFest ticket holders will also have the opportunity to get hands-on with Project Scorpio and upcoming games at a private event on June 12.

The first 400 tickets will go on sale April 19 on a first-come, first-serve basis. They'll be available online in several waves throughout the day, with the first beginning at 6am PT. The remaining 100 tickets will be offered through various promotions and giveaways. Microsoft notes you must be 21 or older with an Xbox Live gamertag to complete the transaction.

While the console's official reveal will have to wait until June, Microsoft has already pulled back the curtain on Project Scorpio's tech specs. The upgraded Xbox One features a 30% faster CPU, a six teraflop GPU, and 12GB of GDDR5 RAM.
